Audit Intern

June - August 2022 • Pittsford, NY

What I liked

The culture at Bonadio is very welcoming. It was incredibly apparent that every member of the team I interned with was passionate about the work they were doing. From staff accountant to partner, everyone was receptive to interns' questions and happy to provide helpful pieces of advice about the industry.

Small Business Advisory Intern

January - April 2019 • Pittsford, NY

What I liked

The people and the work I did in the first part of the internship, preparing tax returns and compilations for small businesses. I was treated as a valued member of the team and was given a good amount of legitimate responsibility.

What I wish was different

The second half of the internship got to be repetitive and I received little training for what I was doing from March until April, which was individual tax returns. I would have appreciated more training

Advice

Take every opportunity you're given in an opportunity like this as a chance to learn-- even if its administrative task or small thing to do, there's always some kind of skill that can be taken away from it.

Audit Intern

June - August 2019 • Rochester, NY

What I liked

Structured and educational training program before starting; balanced experience in the field and in the office; supervisors ensured that I had a full understanding of the work being done and its purpose; I was given tasks equivalent to that of a first-year accountant and that contributed directly to the audits; everyone on the team was very friendly and personable, making me feel comfortable with asking for help or just having friendly conversation.

What I wish was different

N/A

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask questions. Staff and supervisors want you to question everything you are doing so you can fully learn and understand the audit work and its purpose. Asking many questions shows you are making an effort to both learn and produce high quality audit work.

Audit inter

June - August 2019 • Penfield, NY

What I liked

I liked the working with clients as well as the individual assignments I received. I liked the culture of Bonadio and feel like I made good connections with my teammates.

What I wish was different

I wish that there was a mentorship program within Bonadio for interns and 1st year employees.

Advice

Make friends with your fellow interns. It's so helpful to be able to go to each other with little questions. And it also helps to reinforce the knowledge that you are learning when you teach it to others.

Marketing Intern

July 2019 • Pittsford, NY

What I liked

I have a diverse workload (content marketing, digital marketing and graphics), my "coaches" are very nice and easy to talk to, the culture is very inviting and enjoyable. I love how they have "dress for your day" so I don't have to wear business formal all of the time, Purpose Day where the all of offices close and we volunteer in the community, and the unlimited PTO is a great perk especially in the summer!

What I wish was different

Nothing thus far!

Advice

Definitely come into this internship knowing what you want to learn, they will make it a priority for you to achieve what you want. I didn't have any formal graphic design skills and my coach was gracious enough to show me the basics of Photoshop, InDesign, and the Adobe suite which are some great transferable skills. Especially since most internships and jobs like to see this type of background.
